Is he the dad?: The 39-year-old performer with Mr Papers as they arrive hand-in-hand to her baby shower in NYC in May

In mid May the beauty had an elaborate baby shower in New York with Mr Papers by her side. She wore an ornate lace and taupe maternity dress, dripping with $500,000 worth of diamond jewellery.

Papers was seen rubbing her tummy.

'Everything had a royal twist,' the rapper told In Touch magazine of the themed bash which played on her Queen Bee nickname.

'At the beginning of the party, I was announced as The Queen with two trumpeters and even wore a crown!' recalled Kim, who received an early push present from her boyfriend - a new car.

'I couldn't have wished for a more special day,' she added excitedly. 'I'm just so excited to be having a little princess. She's just going to be so girlie and fabulous - just like her mommy.'

Mr Papers presented his lady love with a bouquet of red roses as he accompanied her into the bash, having put in some extra effort in the wardrobe department, teaming baggy jeans with a white shirt and matching waistcoat, completing his outfit with black and white high-top sneakers

This will be the second child for the New York-based rapper, who has a four-year-old son he refers to as his 'little prince'.

Before the baby: The Brooklyn native with her rapper beau in an Instagram photo posted earlier this year

Kim and Mr Papers were first linked back in May 2012, though they broke up sometime later that year, before evidently reuniting.

Before the party, which was filmed for WEtv, Kim asked her fans to buy her baby gifts from a registry which includes items from luxury stores Tiffany & Co and Bel Bambini.

'Please make sure they check off your gift from the registry after purchase,' wrote her assistant, who tweeted the message. 'Thank u guys so much #teamlilkim.'

The former Junior M.A.F.I.A. singer listed a range of items on the registry, from high-end to the more budget-friendly

Items included a $575 sterling silver baby cup from Tiffany & Co (which, according to the registry, was purchased) and a Snow White bib and booties set, retailing at $9.99, at Buy Buy Baby.

Most fans responded positively to her request, but some blasted her for being 'tacky'.

'Do you really need your fans to buy your baby shower gifts? Tacky,' one user wrote on Instagram, according to RadarOnline.

'She wanted her fans to get involved,' a source told the website.

The beauty reportedly dated Tracy Morgan, 45, who is in critical condition after a weekend car crash, in 2008.

She has also reportedly been linked to Notorious B.I.G., Sean Combs, Jamie Foxx and Ray J.
